Loving kindness meditation

This is a great time to reassess your priorities. What is most important to you right now? Is it health, self-care, work, nutrition, just to name a few? Have you been spreading yourself too thin and often left feeling exhausted and uninspired? Maybe those around you are trying to avoid talking to you. Yes, you, Grumpy Cat. What you put out the world you often get that back in return. It may be counter-intuitive for you, but hey, let’s try this exercise of spreading loving kindness to you, those around you and everybody.

Loving kindness or metta bhavana is a way to spread more compassion, and it begins with you.

LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION

(Recite this with intention.)

May I be filled with loving kindness

May I be held in loving kindness…

May I feel connected and calm…

May I accept myself just as I am…

May I be happy…

May I know the natural joy of being alive…

(Really feel it inside of you. You may repeat this once again before proceeding.)
